5 dpo, anyone want to wait with me!?

[Stella918]

Hello!

My husband and I just started TTC this month and due to my planning and type A nature I immediately decided to use OPKs to track! We tried every other day since the last day of my period and then the day before we got a positive OPK we started trying every day for for days. I am 90% positive I am 5 DPO so now I wait! I can't even tell you how bad we want this so of course I feel like I am very in tune with my body. These are my "symptoms" so far...wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same thing or if they think this could mean good things for me??

1DPO: nothing
2DPO: bloated, gassy, can't sleep, vivid dreams, a little cramps
3DPO: can't sleep, tired
4DPO: had two periods of feeling very lightheaded and faint once in the morning and once in the afternoon, still not sleeping, tired during the day
5DPO: cramps like I'm getting my period, tired, moody, can't sleep, vivid dreams

 

[Stella918]

Also since 3DPO I have been very very hungry! The only two symptoms that are common for me before AF are cramps (but not until the day before) and being moody

Hello, I'm 5dpo too! This is my first month of trying as had my Implanon out in June, so I'm very new to all of this! So far my symptoms are :
*I'm getting spots! I don't usually get spots but the last few days I've got a few bad ones! I don't know if this is even a symptom, but definitely something to do with my hormones!
*I feel very tired
*I had mild cramping and pink CM today. not sure what this means?

Anyway that's it for now!! Hope we both see a soon!! xxx

 

[Stella918]

It's so nice to have a 5DPO friend! I hope that the symptoms we are feeling mean a BFP for both of us! I can hardly stand this wait!

 

[tone]

The waiting is awful I'm just counting the days! If the witch doesn't show up I'm planning on testing at 10dpo! What about you? Lots of babydust for us!

 

[Stella918]

Yes definitely! I'm trying to control myself and not test sooner because I don't want to be disappointed but it's getting so hard! I feel weird, not like I normally do the week before my period, so I'm just not sure! I literally never get cramps before my period unless its the day before so I'm trying to stay hopeful... Plus I've been researching early signs of pregnancy and a lot of the things I have been experiencing are similar to those who got BFPs, with the exception of sore BBs. I haven't noticed any of that. But it's still very early! What about you? I hope we are some of the lucky ones!!

 

[tone]

Oh its sounding very hopeful for you!! Other than what I said before I'm feeling pretty normal. Just have to keep my fingers crossed. We BD'd on the right days so all I can do is wait now! Its so hard not to test though isn't it! I bought some cheapie tests online and they are sat in my cupboard calling to me lol but like you said I just don't want to test early and be disappointed. x

HI ladies

Im 6 DPO today but like to join you! Not got anyone else to wait with or speak to as TTC is in shhh mode...

Well i wouldnt say ive had sympotoms but past few days ive been starving all the time! abit gassy but think thats the foods ive been having. Knackered alot too but takes forever to sleep when i do go to bed ??
Had few aches, pinches in stomach but trying not to made a fuss about it.

Time seems to be dragging like mad now!!

Test day will be 24th or 25th. I dont want to test early (even though i do lol) as dont want to see BFN and spend like 5mins squinting and putting test in different lights to see if i can see a 2nd line that i possibly sworn i might of seen!!

 

[Stella918]

Tone: hahaha we must help each other to not test early!! No disappointment for us! Not unless the witch does it first!

Jess812: you can wait with us!! I have that same thing, I am so tired but I can't sleep! Then when I do sleep I dream, which wakes me up so then I'm tired the next day. One awful cycle! I am trying so hard not to test early so lets all vow to keep each other from doing it! I did the same squint routine with my OPKs because I wanted to make sure I BD at the right time!! Haha as far as I know we BD when we where supposed to so now we wait!!

Baby Dust to both of you!

P.s. had a minor melt down this afternoon and my husband says he swears I'm pregnant since I usually don't act like that...here's hoping!!

Hi ladies! Do you mind if I join you? I'm 7dpo....well technically 8dpo since its just after midnight.
So far I haven't had too many symptoms, just a little gassy and bloated and a sore throat. Oh and this afternoon I got really really tired.....but me being tired isn't that abnormal. Especially during the week when I get up early and go for a jog before work.
Anyway, I know how bad we all want this so let's hope this is a lucky thread and we all get our BFP's! !
Can't wait to hear everyones updates!
Good luck!

Hello Jess812 and mdub19!! oh I can't wait that long. I have 10dpo in my head to test lol as I've been looking online and a lot of people got their BFP around then! I know it's still too early really but I don't think I'll be able to wait any longer! I had a very vivid dream last night that I was pregnant! I remember feeling really nauseous during the night but that might have been in my dream lol! Definitely had cramping last night but that could either be AF or implantation! How are you ladies feeling today? Xxx
